The ODI World Cup is over and now the focus has shifted to the World Test Championship. Bangladesh and New Zealand have resumed the action in the WTC cycle with a 2-match test series. The two teams will be playing matches in Sylhet and Mirpur respectively. Crucial WTC points are at stake and both sides would be pushing hard for those points. In this article, we will take a look at 3 players to watch out for in the ongoing test series who can make a difference.
3 players to watch out for in the ongoing test series who can make a difference:
Kane Williamson
At the top of the list, there can be no one but Kane Williamson. Kane Williamson is making a comeback in test cricket after a long injury and his reinduction in the squad has given New Zealand a major push ahead of this series. Williamson is clearly the best batter playing in this series and his record in the subcontinent is really impressive. He has performed in these conditions in the past and the Kiwi team would be expecting the same from him in this series as well.
Mominul Haque
Mominul Haque is a very experienced campaigner and his role in this young Bangladesh unit will be instrumental. He has been a mainstay for Bangladesh in the longest format for quite some time. Bangladesh is entering a phase of transition and Mominul Haque is one such player who can guide the ship through these troubling waters. He has been one of the most consistent players for Bangladesh in home conditions and will be decisive for Bangladesh’s prospects in this series.
Ajaz Patel
The pitches in Bangladesh have a tendency to keep slow and low. They generally assist the spinners and, in those conditions, bowlers like Ajaz Patel will be very crucial. The left-arm orthodox has had a good track record in the subcontinent. His exploits against India are well known and he will be the biggest threat to Bangladesh with his clever art of spin. If he gets some assistance from Ish Sodhi from the other end then he will be even more lethal. The inexperienced Bangladesh batting unit should be cautious of this threat.
